WOW!! i thought things like that only happen in Cali....you are so not ugly. The sad thing is, that guy must of been feeling like crap, otherwise he would not of said that. Sorry that a rat bastard had to unload his problems on you..you are totally cute..forget about what he had said

You should have kicked him in the proverbials for being so damned rude and a liar to boot. I find people who behave like that are usually putting you down simply to make themselves feel better about their own shortcomings.

I am pretty sure you already knew you were not ugly, but it is nice to get compliments hearing you are beautiful isn't it?

Noticed Newgirl hasn't posted again since she first started this thread...interesting, since she seemed to need some reassurance that she hasn't responded back. Just a curious observation.. not meant to be offensive to anyone, including the author.

Dana I loved the bermuda triangle comment .... that was a good one ;) and you are FAR from ugly, u are gorgeous .... :)

Anyway I think alot of us have had our fair share of taunts from those insignificant ones .. I have been called ugly a few times ... I have been accused of being a guy (not sure how) and my favourite a "fat tranny" that one cracks me up !!! but in the end, these people mean nothing in your life so keep your head held high and move on

No Sweetie , you are far from ugly. That was an ugly man. You are beautiful That man is very ugly on the inside where it matters the most. People like that are just insecure and have to be ugly to others to make themselves feel better.

It's not the first time that has happened to me, I'm used to it by now but I remember the first time I stood up for myself and I makes me laugh.

I was with my best friend and her brother. I was complaining about the lack of guys in the area, my friend told me not to worry and that I'll find someone just takes time.
I replied to that with "there are many more fish in the sea" well her brother told me that the only "fish" I was going to find was in the Dead Sea!
I was stunned for a moment then I answered back with "at least I don't have the Bermuda Triangle hanging around me cause every girl you go out with always seems to disappear in the end!"

lol I still remember his face when I said that and to this day he still hasn't found a girl who will stay with him for more than a few weeks!

You keep on answering them back, Dana.
When I was 21, I had no self-confidence at all, even though I was a lot smaller than I am now (that was 3 babies ago!)

It's only now, at 38, that I'm feeling comfortable enough to not give a flying feck what anyone else says. If you can come back with something witty & scathing, then I think it makes you feel much better.

The guy that said that to you obviously fell out of the Ugly Tree, hitting every single branch on the way down.

lol! that's the exact same thing I told a guy today who said to me that i shouldn't even waste my time looking at him(it was my friend who was standing next to him i was looking at). that i wasn't worth any attention or any thing like that. I told him that i would never waste my time on a guy who fell out of the ugly tree! lol
Boy did he have a red face and was laughed at!!

no your not ugly the man who said this is ugly and twisted inside and he should have be greatfull that someone took the time to smile at him as in this world we live in not many have the time to smile at others anymore you keep smiling and Ignore the man with that ugly streak in him

Second, your experience makes me wonder, why is it that the a**holes of the world feel obligated/allowed to make fun of big people?

I can't tell you how many times I've been walking down the street and some jerk has called out "Hey, Porky!" or muttered "Jeez, you take up the whole sidewalk" or whatever.

What perplexes me the most are the ones who shout something along the lines of "Hey! You're fat!!"

What exactly is the purpose of such comments? Do they think I don't KNOW I'm fat? What makes my size their business, when I haven't even looked at them, let alone tried to talk to them? And what's so wrong with our society that people derive such utter glee from making these horrible statements?
